ANTIIEBICTIONAL BINDING FOR COLLARS.

Specification of Letters Patents Patented Au 27, 1918.

. Application filed February 12, 1918. Serial No. 216,830.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J AMES' SoHnvnNnLL,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Figs; 8 and 9.

New York,in the county of New York and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Antifrlctional Binding for Collars; and-I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the inventlon, such as will enable others-skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to wearing apparel,

and has reference to devices for reinforcing and lessening the friction of the edges offabrics, such as collars, whereby said edges are not only protected from contact with-adjacent objects, but 'are rendered smooth and true so as not' to have a wearing, or in cisive, or abrasive ,action upon the proximate partsof garments. r

As is well known,- theedges of collars are roughened and hardened to a considerable extent when laundried, the result being that the necktie of a person who wears such collars is, in the course of time, worn or abraded by frictional contact-withfthe edges of successive collars." The object -is, therefore, to overcome the wear which is due to this cause, and thus avoid, as far as possible, the wearing out of neckties, which occurs not only when the neckties'are being adjusted or tied, but when they are thrust against the edges of the collar during the.

movements of the person.

be understood that although my improved device is especially adapted for use with collars, cufl's or similar laundried articles, it is adapted for use as a binding for the edges of fabrics which are subject to abrasion.

of Fig. 4..

Fig. 7 is a view of a further modification. Fig. 8, is a section taken on the line 8-8, of Fig. 7.

r Fig. .9,- is a view of thebinding' shown in Figs. 7 and 8.

Fig. 10, 1s a view of the button cap of \Fig. 11, is a view illustrating a further form of fastening device, associated with a collar and binding.

Fi'g.i; l2-, is a section taken on the line 12.-12, of ,Fig. 11.

A, represen ts a collar'of the usual type,

but it may be provided withstud holes, a, as shown-in Figs. 6 and 8.

. B,-is a binding consisting of a stamped sheet of metal having flanges to receive between them the edge of a collar, as shown,

the narrow flange, 5, being exposed at the 'margin'of the collar flap, and the. wider flange 6 being concealed behind said flap. The flange, 12 is extended beyond the quadrupled plies, 6 of the collar, and is pro vided With a thickened or bent edge, 5 which engages behind the ridge formed by said plies. The flange, b, is deflected and curved to present a rib-like formation, and

to cause its edge, 6*, which may have a fold,

6 to engage the collar. The binding may be co-extensive with the front edge of the collar flap, or it may be extended around the lower margin of the collar a desired distance, as shown in Fig. 4. The narrowness of the-flange, 1), causes it to appearas a fineline of marginal ornamentation.

, Flgs. 4, 5 and 6, reveal an ftdClllLlOIlll; se-

curing device which is a stud, C, adapted to be passedithroughthe stud hole, a. This stud has a male base, 0 secured to the flange b and a female cap, a, secured to the car, 6 which extends inward from the flange, .Z), of which it is a continuation. The two parts, 0, 0 are adapted to snap together, the male member being slitted, as shown, to give it resiliency. The ear, .7), is, for illustrative purposes, shown, in Fig. 5, as bent, so as to reveal the cavity in the female member, 0. In Fig. 4, the binding is shown as continuing a short distance along the lower margin of the collar.

Figs. 7, 8, 9 and 10, illustrate a modification of the binding wherein the flange, b, is provided with an ear, 6 to which is attached the male member, 0 of the stud, C. In this construction, the female member, 0, is unattached, but when in use rests upon thesurface of the collar, being then held in place by its engagement with the male member, 0 which extends through the hole, a,

" The'binding may be, and preferably is,

composed of resilient metal, so that it may inherently. operate to clamp the edge of a collar'between its twoflanges. If so. con-" V -.r1dge formed bv the IliZLIllfOldBCl fabric at structed, and especially if the wider flange terminates in a thickened or folded edge which may engage behind the shoulder formed by the plies of fabric at the edge of the collar, additional securing means, such as I have described, may notbe required.

The binding may be enameled for ornamental and protective purposes, and may be colored to harmonize with the apparel of the wearer, or according to the taste or fancy.

The binding may not be provided with the flange, 6 for itmay be attached to a collar by a series of pro]ections extending under theedge of the collar, and serving the same purpose as the said flange.

The binding may be formed by any of the known processes of metal working, as by the use of dies, and celluloid, paper, or paper reinforced by metal or other substance, in

skeleton form, may be usedin its construction.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim is:

1. An anti-frictional binding for collars, consisting of a suitably fashioned folded strip of metal, having the parts of a snap button secured to the respective flaps thereof.

2. .The combination with a fold-over collar having a stud hole in each of its outer folds, ofa binding for each outer fold provided with securing means extending through said stud hole.

7 3. The combination with a fold-over collarhavin a stud hole in each of its outer folds, of a binding for each outer fold provided with a stud, having a base and a detachable cap for securing said binding to the collar b the co-action of said studiand said stud hole.

4. An anti-frictional binding for collars, having a flange which-1s adapted to underlie the margin of a collar, said flange being thickened at its free'edgeyto engage the said margin. 1

5. An anti-friction binding, adapted to embrace the ed e of a piece of wearing apparol and provided with a flange which is adapted to engage a ridge of said wearing apparel.

6. An anti-frictional binding, having a folded edge adaptedto engage a ridge in a piece of Wearing material.

'7. An anti-frictional resilient binding, havingflanges to secure said binding to the edge of a garment, one of said flanges having ashoulder at the free edge thereof for engaging a ridge of the fabric.

8. The combination with a collar having a stud hole in each of its ends of a binding for each end, said bindings being each provided with a securing device for engage ment with the adjacent hole.

9. A resilient binding for collars, having a wide flange, a narow ornamental rib, and securing means additional to said flangeand rib having parts disposed on opposite sides of said binding.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
